”Working with Vishal was truly outstanding. Not only is he a wonderful human being, but he also has an exceptional ability to connect with each individual on a personal level. As someone who had never practiced yoga before, I felt seen, understood, and completely safe in his presence.

Vishal intuitively responded to my needs and created an atmosphere that allowed me to let go and fully immerse myself in the practice. Through his guidance, I was able to open up to something I had previously resisted – yoga.

Over the course of five days, practicing twice a day with him, I felt a significant shift in both my inner calm and physical well-being. His teaching style is mindful, patient, and deeply rooted in awareness. I could not have asked for a better introduction to yoga. Vishal’s impact on my journey is something I will carry with me for a long time.”

"About two years ago, I discovered Vishal teaching at a random drop-in class at HIYC in Dharamkot, India. Since then, I've continued with his guidance through more advanced courses and into self-practice. Before this, my limited yoga experience was from long ago and focused mainly on physical aspects. Yoga had never come easily to me; I saw it as something I "needed to do" and felt limited by my ability to do it "well."

This time, Vishal introduced me to the deeper aspects of the practice, which I saw as the missing piece in my spiritual journey. It wasn't theoretical – it was, and is, a living practice through yoga, centered on awareness that goes beyond the thinking mind and meets you where you are (flexible or not - I'm not! - with whatever mental blocks that may arise).

Vishal's calm, still, and strong presence, combined with his clear guidance for each asana, emphasizes relaxation and presence in each pose. In his teaching, he often asks us to "Check," "Connect," be "Objective" and non-judgmental in our practice, to accept things as they are. Learning to combine relaxation with stretching has helped me work through limitations and overcome both mental and physical blocks in a safe, healing space.

Through this practice, I've noticed ongoing positive changes in both body and mind. The essence of this Yoga practice, through my eyes, lies in body awareness – which I believe is the gateway to healing and growth. Vishal embodies this essence, and I feel very blessed to have had him as my Yoga teacher."

"I met Vishal during a time in my life when everything felt fast, a bit competitive, confusing, and stressful. Joining one of his classes was like stepping into a different universe, one where I felt like those words don’t even exist.

Realizing that yoga is about connecting with your body and emotions was incredibly special in his classes. Working with body parts we often ignore e.g. our feet was such a wonderful experience.

With his calming voice, creative sequences, and the special energy he always brought to the class, I was genuinely sad whenever the class ended and I had to return to my usual universe but with the difference that I always left feeling calmer and more grounded."

I had the privilege of learning under Vishal’s guidance, and it was truly a transformative experience. His calm presence, soft-spoken nature, and loving attention created a space that felt safe, grounded, and deeply nurturing.

What stood out most was the immense attention to detail he brought to every posture. I still remember my first day, I couldn’t get into Supta Virasana and Sarvangasana. But Vishal, with his quiet patience, guided me step by step, never rushing, always attuned to my body’s pace. Slowly, with his support, I found myself entering the poses I thought were impossible.

By the fourth day, I was able to hold Sarvangasana for 20 minutes, and tears filled my eyes not from pain, but from the sheer magic of what I had just experienced. Vishal looked at me, smiled, and gave me a thumbs up. In that simple moment, something shifted in me. I truly believe that was the first time I felt the magic of yoga.

Beyond the asana practice, Vishal’s clarity of thought and subtle corrections had a lasting impact. I remember how he’d gently remind us: “You’re not trying… you’re doing.” That shift in language reflected a deeper shift in awareness.

I feel grateful to have crossed my paths with Vishal, a teacher like him someone who doesn’t just teach yoga, but embodies it with love, integrity, and grace.
